There are many reasons why I never have voted for any Clinton for public office. I find the Clintons even more disturbing now that they are starting a family political dynasty similar to that of the Bushes. Family dynasties are antithetical to democracy and represent a monarchial approach to government.

Here are some of the things Ms. Clinton has done that would keep me from voting for her even if she were not part of a family political dynasty.

Voted for the Iraq War.

Called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" progress.

Voted for a use of force authorization for a war with Iran.

Has committed to keeping US troops in Iraq until at least 2013.

Supports the death penalty.

Has refused to promote gun control.

Has worked to exclude anti-war candidates in the Democratic Party debates.

Supports more corporate trade deals instead of repealing the ones that are destroying our economy as it is.

Uses dirty campaign tactics.

Pandered to the Christian Right on abortion and birth control.

Supports "three strikes" laws that result in life prison sentences for petty offenses.
